Post Match | Newcastle vs Liverpool | Sunday August 27th 16:30h

[Sweeting]

What even is this thread? Move on everyone, we fucking won.

[Quicksand]

Sound.
Good call.

@cynicaloldgit

Eat a dick, it’s my op.

[Sportbilly1966]

And what a fantastic win it was

@Dane

TBF, if you want it done properly you’ll need the British Army.
Common knowledge that step #1 in the US Army handbook is “Call the British Army”.

Yeh, what’s left of it!

True.
But who’d join these days, knowing you’re likely to be sent somewhere like Afghanistan for a salary less than a postie gets?

@Limiescouse

We have seen loads of bad calls go against us that we can use as a frame of reference

Ahem see below quoted from my same post.

@1972

Gordon’s push on Trent was dangerous/reckless. Trent then gets á yellow. It beggars belief how a ref can make that call.

[Quicksand]

Once again and with respect.

What avenues have worked for Liverpool regarding terrible refereeing decisions?

[sandsoftime]

LFC doesn’t just get screwed by the poor refereeing decisions in the games we are playing at Anfield, or elsewhere, but also, we are getting screwed by the decisions offered to our competitors in their favour… when they play their games

[cynicaloldgit]

Like this one, for example:

Ref Watch: Were Man City lucky to get a penalty against West Ham?

Just one of many. City beat us to the title by one point that season, let’s not forget.

I have no idea, i know there are non public communications between officials, league, and teams searching for explanations of certain calls/decisions etc, but publicly questioning integrity of league and officials and berating them verbally on the pitch never goes well. It usually ends up have the reverse affect, as league and officials are angry.

Non public communications have been rendered useless in Liverpools case. We can quietly complain and it gets us nowhere.
The likes of Tierney, Webb, Atwell and add Brooks will still shaft us and give the likes of City title winning advantage.

Liverpool supporters called for a vociferous captain, like Keane back some time ago.
Someone to stand up to the continuous nonsense. Much as I cannot stand Keane, his attitude of getting on officials faces worked for United. Even when they were in the wrong.

Virgil had a go on Sunday because he was frustrated at an inept, cowardly decision. It might be worth an extra game to show that we won’t be taking referees bias and stupidity lying down anymore.

A vocal captain should still maintain dignity and decorum. Unless of course he’s working class then he should swear like a fucking trooper at all the match officials, obviously…….

You advocated a longer ban for our captain for allegedly swearing following a contestable red card.

I responded.

You, doing your usual thing deliberately misrepresented my post.

A number of people were rightly pissed off at our continued interaction, which prompted me to stop.

You couldn’t wait to poke your beak into a conversation today, to reignite the argument.

[Sithbare]

The match is done. Let’s close this thread now.

Any further discussions on the sportswashing cheats and the cretins enabling them can happen in the sportswashing thread

This is a discussion forum, it happens.

@redalways

I think it was earlier this year, in the Grauniad?

EDIT: The impossible job: inside the world of Premier League referees | Referees | The Guardian

That 2nd paragraph is one of the most laughable things I’ve read in a long time.

Referee’s performances are meticulously dissected and rated by their bosses. Those with the highest scores are rewarded with the ‘golden matches’ i.e games involving the top teams.

That would explain why Anthony Taylor - who routinely ‘misses’ major incidents in Liverpool games to Liverpool’s cost - is rewarded with even more Liverpool games.

Atkinson says giving the big matches to the best refs is the equivalent of Virgil starting the big games for Liverpool.

Taylor getting the Liverpool matches is the equivalent of Ronnie Biggs being invited to drive the train.
